At a bar or lounge that charges entry, the door counts people in and out against the venue’s capacity. Kila describes the role: “Works the door: takes entry charges on their own shift, keeps the headcount against capacity and checks ages. Nothing else at the till.”

Kila opens the home page. Your page is Kitchen and floor › Door: “Entry charges and the headcount tonight. Paid entries go through your till shift.” At the top, Inside now against the venue’s capacity, such as of 350, In tonight with how many paid, and Door takings. Recent, on the right, lists the last people in and out.

  1. Choose the entry (1): Paid, Free or Guest list. Free and the guest list are no charge. Set how many people with − and +.
  2. Check their ID (2). Where your business checks ages for alcohol, In stays grey until you tick the box, such as “I have seen ID. The guest is 18 or older.” Kila asks for every group: “Only people aged 18 or over come in, paid, free or on the guest list. The check is recorded with each entry.”
  3. Tap In (3). Kila says, for example, 1 in: Inside now goes up, and Recent lists 1 in (guest list). The ID check starts unticked again for the next group.
  4. Tap Out (4) as people leave. Kila says 1 out, and Inside now comes down.

Paid entries go on your own till shift. Paid shows the charge, such as KES 1,000.00 at KES 1,000.00 each, to take by Cash or M-Pesa (seen), and the shift it goes on (5), such as “Your shift SH-000084 on Door till: entry charges go on it.” Check their ID and tap In (6): Kila says, for example, 1 in: KES 1,000.00, and Door takings goes up.

Needs a manager

Selling anything but the entry charge is not part of the role.

What does Inside now count? Everyone counted in tonight, less everyone counted out. In tonight counts everyone in, and says how many of them paid.

Someone on the guest list came back in. Count them in again with Guest list: In tonight counts each entry.
